So this is a part of the album that I’ve been enjoying here intermittently. I love the songs, I really do. Listening to them now, though, I begin to question. Not necessarily question them, but ask myself what does it suggest about the life of faith. What does it mean for the Presence of the Lord to be with us in this place? How is that real and tangible and not just the goosebump feel that we often associate to moments of extreme charisma? How do we know He has been in the place? Where I’m at during this stage of life I thirst for the genuine ongoing experience of the presence in my life, not something that needs to be artificially roused up like the prophets of Baal tried to arouse their own god in the Elijah vs. Prophets of Baal episode. That real experience of His presence that transcends my own limitations but leaves me in no doubt that He is with us and has moved once more in that unmistakeable way.
Here’s to the Presence of the Lord being a reality even when we’re not singing.
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
